A clothing dealer in an interior town had
occasion to visit the city to purchase goods.
While he was gone young man entered the
store to buy coat. A salesman waited upon
the customer and showed him coat plainly
marked 81. The customer tried it on and
said in pleasant, confiding way: Il want a
good article, and l can afford to pay little
more" The salesman showed him many
coats, and, finally, having removed the tag,
again offered him the 81 coat which had
fitted him at first, and said: Here is a coat,
fine article, just your fit, which can sell
you for Sl2." The coat was again tried on,
the young man seemed pleased, paid his
money and went away. On the merchants
return the salesman, with smile of triumph
all over his countenance, rushed up to him
and boosted what he had done. The merchant
looked grave He only said: "Does anyone
know who the customer was" A little boy
had recognized him as a workman in d neigh
boring factory and remembered his name.
The merchant sent for the young man, told
him of his modification, gave him back IS
and the privilege of returning the coat if he
chose, and then said to the salesman: Now,
sir, will pay you your weeks salary and
wish you to 60. II you cheat my customers
you have not principle enough not to cheat
me. If / can't have my people sell goods
honestly will go out of business. Good day,
sir. DRY Goods Chronicle

Headwny Xolapuk Is Making.

Volapuk, the new universal language, is
making steady Roadway. The Volapukists
held their grand international congress a few
days ago at Munich, and most of the coun-
tries OF Europe sent representatives. The
good repute of America for enlightened curl
osity was saved by one gentlemen from Gin
cinnati. Pasteur Schleyer, the inventor OF
the language, took the chair in the name Of
the associations Of France. He explained
that Volapuk was not meant to suppress
other tongues, but only to supply new one
for the common purposes of all mankind, and
in particular for the promotion of universal
brotherhood.
The inventor hopes to induce the German
government to admit Volapuk to the list Of
languages transmissable by telegraph within
the empire In Denmark it has been
officially recommended to telegraph clerks
as a subject of study. The best
augury for its spread in France lies
in the fact that Berlin takes no interest in
it, inasmuch as that city was not represented
at the congress Englishmen ought to look
upon Volapuk with kindly ey3, as most Of
its borrowings from the Germanic languages
are taken from their own tongue. The char
acteristically English phrase, How much
money have you" must, we regret to say, be
rendered in Volapuk by "Moni limodik

A WHOLESALE GROCER ABROAD
Denied Admfttance to an English
Theatre.


Theatre.
Heard a good one about Charlie Brown,
the wholesale grocer Some years ago Mr.
Brown and an Ohio friend were in London
together. While there they went to the the
atre together one evening when it was an
nounced that the royal family were to be
present and no gentleman not correctly at
tired in evening dress would be admitted
Mr.. Brown and his friend appeared in frock
coats and were denied admittance to their
seats. They went to woman in one of the
ante rooms and asked her to sew the tails of
their coats back in order to give them the an
pearance of a cutaway. She agreed to do it,
but said she had done it for others, and the
scheme would not work. Mr.. Brown and his
friend, not being so easily put aside then
went TO costumer and each secured an ex-
tremely old fashioned claw hammer, much
too large, and knee brooches Thus attired
they again demanded entrance A demurrer
Yves entered, but Mr.. Brown called attention
TO the fact that he had on dress suit, and it
mattered not whether it was the STYLE of a
century ago or the present, or whether it
fitted him or not.
The two were finally allowed to 90 in. The
SSNeS ApOhVNi Huell the Two gen.
tlemen sat down the collars stuck up over
their heads, and the tails brushed the floor
In addition to their oddity of dress, both car
ried spy glasses in lieu of opera glasses, which
they leveled in every direction. To make the
situation more groteSque they would stand
up between the acts, showing their costume
10 the greatest advantage Finally the at
tention of the entire audience, including the
Prince OF Wales, was attracted TO them. and
everybody burst into laughter at their ridicu
lous appearance. Meanwhile the two Ameri
cans, though they were inwardly ENJOYING
the whole thing, maintained their compos-
ure, ran out their spy glasses and inspected
the people laughing at them with the greatest
impunity, while they diSported themselves in
the old time raiment. Everybody supposed
they were simply couple of eccentric Ameri-
cans bent on having good time, and had no
idea of the real cause of their peculiar attire.
